Abstract

A portable ECG monitor (184) and an overall system for remotely monitoring cardiac function of a patient (180) is disclosed, together with a method of use. The portable ECG (184) includes a multi-lead, multi-channel ECG monitor and a wireless communication device (186) connected to the ECG monitor to receive patient ECG data (194) and transmit the patient ECG data (194) to a centralized facility (190), such as a hospital. The wireless communication device can include a mobile phone (186) and/or an interactive Internet appliance. A method of remotely monitoring ECG data (194) is also disclosed. The method and apparatus are particularly useful with patients (180) experiencing symptomatic ischemia. The method includes providing a portable ECG device (184) with wireless communication (186) capabilities to such a patient (180), acquiring ECG data (194) from the patient (180) at a location (182) remote from a health care facility (196), then transmitting the ECG data (194) to the centralized facility (190), and assessing the ECG data (194) at the centralized facility (190). The patient (180) is then provided with instructions based on the ECG assessment. The centralized facility (190) and the health care facility (196) may be one and the same, or may be two different and distinct facilities.
